The National Computer Center (NCC) - Information Communications and Technology Office (ICTO) joined the thirty (30) exhibitors from the national and local government units in the Kabisig Government Expo and Trade Fair 2012, held from 22-25 February at the SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City.

A short parade headed by Kabisig chairman Daniel Guillen, together with the representatives from the exhibitors, was held on the opening day, February 22, inside the premises of the mall. This was followed by the cutting of the ceremonial ribbon by Ms. Sherry Robrido, Assistant Mall Manager of SM Megamall, marking the formal opening of the event.

Mr. Guillen gave the welcome message and stressed the importance of recognizing the valuable contribution of the local and national government agencies in national development. He added that the accomplishments, projects, and programs of the government can be showcased in events such as Kabisig which promote public awareness and understanding of how the government operates.

The NCC’s exhibit consisted of the National Computer Institute’s video presentation, flyers and brochures on IT Proficiency Certification, International Computer Driving License, Green ICT, calendar of courses, NCC-developed applications systems, eGovernment Fund and the Philippine Community eCenter Program.

President Benigno Aquino III sent his message to the Kabisig organizers which says, “I recognize your organization’s efforts to inform and update the public of the programs and accomplishments of our government agencies. Your support inspires our public servants to continue to fulfill the mandate bestowed upon them by the Filipino people, boosting the trust and confidence of our countrymen in our government and bringing it closer to the people.”

“As long as the spirit of bayanihan continues to prevail in the hearts of Filipinos, there is no doubt that the Philippines will rise to the challenge of transformation. Illuminated by the daylight of hope and change, we steadfastly tread the straight and righteous part toward an equitable and just society,” his message said.

The Kabisig Government Expo and Trade Fair is a yearly one-stop information and trade exhibit, organized by Kabisig People’s Movement, an non-government organization (NGO), which aims to spread the good news about the government by showcasing their various profile, service facilities, programs, projects and accomplishments. ***
